I don't think I could have picked a better day to start. I've been at Durham for most of the last twenty years, but seeing the excitement of the freshers, the enthusiasm of the freshers' helpers, and the dedication of the staff was something special.

Ray’s book was one of our first topics, and while it definitely advanced our thinking on various lines, I now have to admit that we didn’t see the importance of much that was expressed therein.

  • The Dream Narrative As a Mode of Female Discourse in Epic Poetry
    Transactions of the American Philological Association 140 (2010) 195–238 Incohat Ismene: The Dream Narrative as a Mode of Female Discourse in Epic Poetry* emma scioli University of Kansas summary: This article examines Ismene’s nightmare in book 8 of Statius’s Thebaid by contextualizing it within the epic’s narrative, comparing it with the dream narrations of other female characters in epic poetry, and aligning it with other typically female modes of subjective expression in epic, such as weaving, teichoscopy, and lamentation. My analysis shows that by exposing the diffi- culties inherent in retelling a dream, Statius demonstrates sympathy with the female perspective on the horrific war that constitutes the central action of his poem and foreshadows the subsequent inadequacy of words in reaction to such horror. i. introduction: ismene begins ismene, daughter of oedipus, is a character who has virtually no presence in the narrative of Statius’s Thebaid either before or after the small section devoted to the retelling of her dream and its aftermath (8.607–54); for this reason, the intricacy and allusiveness of this passage are all the more striking. In this scene, Ismene recounts to her sister Antigone a dream she has had, in which her wedding to her fiancé Atys is violently interrupted by a fire. After questioning the dream’s origin, Ismene discounts its meaning as incongruous with her understanding of her own waking reality and resumes * Shorter versions of this paper were delivered at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, in 2004 and the 2005 APA meeting in Boston. I would like to thank audience members at both venues for useful feedback.

  • Dressing in American Telefantasy
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Stripping the Body in Contemporary Popular Media: the value of (un)dressing in American Telefantasy MANJREE KHAJANCHI, Independent Researcher ABSTRACT Research perspectives on identity and the relationship between dress and body have been frequently studied in recent years (Eicher and Roach-Higgins, 1992; Roach-Higgins and Eicher, 1992; Entwistle, 2003; Svendsen, 2006). This paper will make use of specific and detailed examples from the television programmes Once Upon a Time (2011- ), Falling Skies (2011- ), Fringe (2008- ) and Game of Thrones (2011- ) to discover the importance of dressing and accessorizing characters to create humanistic identities in Science Fiction and Fantastical universes. These shows are prime case studies of how the literal dressing and undressing of the body, as well as the aesthetic creation of television worlds (using dress as metaphor), influence perceptions of personhood within popular media programming. These four shows will be used to examine three themes in this paper: (1) dress and identity, (2) body and world transformations, and (3) (non-)humanness. The methodological framework of this article draws upon existing academic literature on dress and society, combined with textual analysis of the aforementioned Telefantasy shows, focussing primarily on the three themes previously mentioned. This article reveals the role transformations of the body and/or the world play in American Telefantasy, and also investigates how human and near-human characters and settings are fashioned. This will invariably raise questions about what it means to be human, what constitutes belonging to society, and the connection that dress has to both of these concepts. KEYWORDS Aesthetics, Body, Dress, Falling Skies, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Identity, Once Upon a Time, Telefantasy.

We consider HDQKD based on the time-energy entanglement produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion and show that it is secure against collective attacks. Its security rests upon visibility data—obtained from Franson and conjugate-Franson interferometers—that probe photon-pair frequency correlations and arrival-time correlations.

INTRODUCTION When, 15 or so years ago, this Institute was founded by a group of former individual members of the Stock Exchange, it established objectives not only to set and assess professional standards, but also to sustain and develop more widely the standards of behaviour epitomised by the Exchange’s motto ‘My Word is My Bond”. To this end, the Institute set a Code of Conduct to help its members meet these standards. Late in 2004, we decided that this Code was in need of revision, to adapt to changing market circumstances. At the same time Lord George had become Master of the Guild of International Bankers and had determined that he would mark his period in office by encouraging the development of a set of Principles of Behaviour to be adopted by the membership. When this work had been completed Lord George, knowing of this Institute’s work in this area, prompted the Guild to discuss its work with us.
